Summer is a coming
in…..
Well I
don’t know about the rest of the country but, here in the South East of
England, this week has been positively sweltering!
It’s
time to dust off the bar-b-Que, put out the sun shades and curl up on a sun
lounger with a good book and a glass of something cold.
I can
remember when I was in primary school that we used to take our work outside on
lovely sunny days, find a lovely shady spot under a tree, and we always did
really cool activities like painting, drawing, activity quizzes or just
listening to a good story.
Good
things don’t have to be complicated to be good! In a former life when I was
training to be a primary school teacher, I was observing in a local school with
a teacher who received an award for excellence in teaching. He had a motto for
his pupils – ‘Keep it simple, Do it well’. This sentiment is very easily transferable to all areas of life.
So…where
does all this rambling fit with Interlibrary loans?
Well – as
a consequence of one of the presentations from Interlend 2015 we decided to
simplify our processes and procedures to try and produce a better, more
effective, more efficient service. After Interlend 2016 we here at Essex
University ILL are again going to implement some of the ideas and initiatives
that we heard about to continue that move for improvement.
Summer
is a great time here for these kinds of activities as the pace of life does get
a little slower and there is more time for reflection and development.
If you
would like some inspiration, motivation or just a distraction from the summer
heat check out this year’s presentations from Interlend on the FIL website
Keep cool
everyone and have a great summer!
